Seems in my reply I dropped the circulation list so here it is again
(inline) I also include a response from Andrea which ought to be here.

Sorry to confuse.
All I meant was that the ASF does not fund conferences. Nor does it
organise them. There is an infrastructure in place to support people
organising events. But the funding and the main organising effort must
come from the projects themselves.
In other words if you want a OOoCon then get the community motivated
around it, put together a proposal, and submit it to come, who will
offer what support they can.this thread however is about: locating an
OpenOffice track at an Apache: event. That event will be produced by a
professional production company and supported by volunteers within the
conference committee.
Andrea responded:

That should be possible and I'd be happy to make the case for the PPMC
(I'm a member of ConCom). I look forward for the PPMC providing me
with a case to make.
